vetlongwalks home & pf

circa 2007 this was how one of the rooms looked like when the house was turned over to me. although, this is NOT EXACTLY mine, but that of the model unit. haha, i got cheapskate housing, thus, this room is the same for every homeowner who got the same unit. circa 2008 i didn't move in to my pet house immediately after it was finished. moron me thought only of the monthly amortization when john first talked about this subdivision project in mactan. boy, was i in for a big surprise when all the other expenses came knocking hard on my front door - there were move-in fees, fees for electricity and water - not to mention light fixtures, furniture and whatnots. so yeah, with nothing but the mullah that comes twice in a month, i had to wait for months before i could truly settle in. funny, i couldn't even afford to buy decent bed sheets. the really, really nice ones will cost you around 3k pesos and more. of course, there are those you'll be lucky enough to get on sale for at leas

last march 28, i blogged about taking on an ambitious task of making my own couch slipcover. it is an ambitious task as i'm no expert at sewing. in fact, it's only when i bought my second-hand sewing machine did i get to try my hands at sewing using an electric machine. anyway, i ended that post with a promise to sew a slipcover for the smaller couch. well, last week - i had my pain symptoms again. the pain though wasn't that intense to knock me off my feet. so to distract myself from the throbbing sensations all over my pelvic and back area, i resumed to finishing the task of making my own couch slipcover. so this couch: is now dressed with this: another angle: i mentioned in that previous post that i'm darn PROUD at having successfully tackled this project. at the risk of sounding like a broken machine, i'm going to say it again: I'M PROUD, PROUD!!! at having these couches in my living room now. I MADE THOSE SLIPCOVERS MYSELF!!! AWESOME, if i may say so, LOL!!
